When we downsized I did let go of many Christmas decorations. This collection of Santa and Father Christmas was not something I could part with. They grace one shelf of the bookcase this month.
What a special collection, Marcia! I understand completely. :) My collection of folk art Santas is a very special part of every Christmas. Each one holds a precious memory ~ a gift from a friend or collected in my travels. They are the first thing I unpack every Christmas season and the last thing I put away. To me, they symbolize LOVE. Sending warm hugs today, Marcia! ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymes
Adorable.... I still love all of my Christmas collections... Not sure what I'll be able to get rid of whenever we downsize... Christmas is my favorite time of the year--and I have A LOT of 'stuff'.... All have such great memories.
Do you still love your 'new home'? Do you miss your beautiful home? Seems as if you and hubby have made the adjustment very well... Getting away from all of the yardwork would be GOOD... We've had a rough Fall here this year due to the drought and wildfires... It hasn't been JOYFUL at all!!!! ha
Marcia, are you sure that you counted this correctly? Oh, boy!
ReplyDeleteI love your Santas! Each one is so different.
